I'd just like a reasonably priced, playable copy of Suikoden II. That's all I want, Konami.

I had a copy of the first Suikoden Encyclopedia that covered 1, 2, Suikogaiden and the Card game. It was a really great book and did an incredible amount to flesh out the Suikoworld.
I should be doing hw

Doesn't sound too farfetched to me. Suikoden PSP2 title? Would be perfect I think.Callibretto said:

Suikoden IV-2: The Return of Lazlo

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
It still kills me dead that we never got an english translation of Genso Suikoden I+II for PSP. That's such a great version for lovers of those games, I would have at the very least expected a European translation....
It's suppose to have nothing new in the information anyways.
Konami releases just enough Suikoden-related material so that fans will buy them in hopes of something that might point to a sequel...but nothing ever comes out of it.
Still, fans will still buy the crap, hoping, praying, BELIEVING.
Time to move on~!

I fucking LOVE Suikoden, but you need to let it die dude. Most (all?) of the people involved with the great Suikoden games are gone. Look at shit like the Shining and Sonic series; even if they did any more, there's a 99% chance it would suck. Unless there was involvement from old staff, it would be an empty shell. I've accepted that there are some series that I will never get a good (or any) sequel to.
Acceptance is the first step.
Y'know, I was replaying III just earlier today and it made me realize just how far ahead of its time it was. It had a lot of really excellent ideas that couldn't be fully realized at the time and the game really does represent the natural evolution of the Suikoden series. As much as I enjoyed V, in some ways, it really was somewhat of a step back for the series. I really hope that Sakiyama (V's director) looks at those ideas and tries to incorporate them into the next game.

This encyclopedia was announced a while ago, but it is nice that Konami is releasing so much new Suikoden merchandise.
While having him back would be great, Suikoden can exist and thrive without him.
He never said that it was an offer from Konami, we all just filled in the blank with no real evidence to back it up. While it's a strong possibility, it doesn't mean it's the truth.Himuro said:

You don't think V added to the canon meaningfully? Even IV & Tactics, despite their flaws, have story merit.Bebpo said:
If we start getting into Tierkreis territory again, that's when it's time to get worried.

Quit playin games with my heart. No more bringing up Suikoden VI till it's official! Or anything Suikoden related for that matter, it pains too much.

So.... is this good news for a new Suikoden game or should I prepare to cry again?

Well it doesn't really confirm anything.Laughing Banana said:
The one positive thing you can take away though is that it's doubtful a company would bother putting together such a gigantic book, (the vast majority being text) about a series they didn't care about. Suikoden has an extremely daunting amount of information to keep track of.

I thought... that after Tierkreis, you have joined the fold into accepting the end.Himuro said:
Tierkreis is an odd odd Suikoden. It is not bad, but it tosses out the normal conventions of the game, though I really liked how the main character had a personality of his own.shykyoichi said:
I also have no idea what is up with that name. Does it mean something, or did they just randomly string syllables together?

I'm not marriage material, I'm too selfish.
Just keep the Suikoden dream alive. I remember how hyped the community was for Suikoden V, and I'm looking forward to that fervor returning.

Damnit. Stop bumping these threads. Am make me cry.
That soundtrack looks amazing! Too bad I have most of them already.
I guess this is as good of a place as any. A long time ago, I made a bunch of images from Suikoden II, some of which I haven't used: http://simgaming.net/suiko/ Feel free to use them if you like, just as long as you don't use my soup one.
